Is anyone else on the opinion that ffmpeg now ranks 4th as the most used lib after ssl, zlib, and sqlite... given video is like omnipresent in 2025?

Curl should be up there, and "SSL" might be lower because of different implementations would split the numbers.

Curl perhaps yes, but it employs zlib and libssl to operate, right so?

Yes, it uses zlib and some implementation of SSL.

My earlier comment about "SSL" is that the actual library might be OpenSSL, BoringSSL, WolfSSL, GnuTLS, or any one of a number of others. So the number of uses of each one is smaller than the total number of "SSL" uses.
